47. Hypochondrie. - Es giebt Menschen, welche aus Mitgefühl und Sorge für eine andere Person hypochondrisch werden; die dabei entstehende Art des Mitleidens ist nichts Anderes, als eine Krankheit. So giebt es auch eine christliche Hypochondrie, welche jene einsamen, religiös bewegten Leute befällt, die sich das Leiden und Sterben Christi fortwährend vor Augen stellen.

47. Hypochondria. There are people who become hypochondriacal out of fellow feeling and concern for another person. The kind of compassion that arises in the process is nothing other than an illness. Thus there is also a Christian hypochondria that afflicts those solitary, religiously agitated people who continually keep the suffering and death of Christ before their eyes.

47. Hypocondrie. Il est des hommes qui deviennent hypocondriaques par compassion et par souci pour une autre personne ; l’espèce de compassion qui se forme alors n’est rien d’autre qu’une maladie. Il existe aussi une hypocondrie chrétienne qui atteint ces personnes solitaires et religieusement exaltées qui se représentent sans cesse les souffrances et la mort du Christ.
